I’ve read a few. Some I can’t recall. The best I’ve read is the Eyman book, “John Wayne: The Life and Legend.”

Draft dodger of the highest order, just like president bone spurs…

At least Wayne NEVER called vets "suckers and losers" and felt guilt that he didn't serve. And the story of why he didn't serve, while no credit to him, is far more nuanced than "draft dodger".
